We support individuals who come to us to achieve deep and radical improvement in their lives and to experience themselves and their world – perhaps for the first time - with a sense of optimism and belonging. We can’t promise that this is an easy change to make. The journey towards a life of freedom and autonomy can be tremendously challenging. Honour-based violence not only disempowers; it shatters the human spirit. It breaks individuals and corrupts communities.
Every day, we counsel victims of abuse who suffer low self-esteem, damaged confidence, depression, anxiety and emotional turmoil.
But we also see the spark of hope that brings them to us. And, as our survivors testimonials demonstrate, we can and do make a difference.
We help victims understand and experience the rewards of living independently, empowering them to call the shots in their own lives and strengthening their connection to themselves, their world and others around them in a spirit of peace.
At Karma Nirvana, we know how difficult but ultimately rewarding this journey can be - because we’ve made it ourselves.
